12:00 AM
Donald Trump 00:00:00-00:00:01 (1 sec)

How are you Brian?

Question 00:00:01-00:00:02 (1 sec)

How are you doing, Mr. President?

Donald Trump 00:00:02-00:00:13 (11 sec)

We have a big day. One of our great people, Dan, Erin, they're getting married. That's a, that's a big day. Very loyal, very fantastic people.

Question 00:00:13-00:00:19 (7 sec)

Sir, uh, on Iran, uh, the Supreme Leader today said that, uh, US attacks could spark a regional war. Do you have any thoughts on that?

Donald Trump 00:00:19-00:00:34 (15 sec)

Why wouldn't he say that? Of course, he's gonna say that. But, uh, we have the biggest, most powerful ships in the world over there. Very close, couple of days. And, uh, hopefully we'll make a deal. If we don't make a deal then, uh, we'll find out whether or not he was right.

Question 00:00:34-00:00:42 (8 sec)

Mr. President, on Texas, um, a Democrat won the special election in a area that you had won by 17 points. What is your reaction to that?

Donald Trump 00:00:42-00:00:45 (3 sec)

I don't know. I didn't hear about it. Somebody ran where?

Question 00:00:45-00:00:48 (3 sec)

In Texas, a special election for legislative. The ninth state senate seat.

Donald Trump 00:00:48-00:00:54 (6 sec)

I'm not involved with that. That's a local Texas race. You mean I won by 17?

Question 00:00:54-00:00:55 (1 sec)

You did.

Donald Trump 00:00:55-00:00:57 (2 sec)

And, uh, this person lost?

Question 00:00:57-00:00:57 ( sec)

A Republican.

Donald Trump 00:00:57-00:00:59 (2 sec)

Things like that happen.

Question 00:00:59-00:01:00 (1 sec)

Does it worry you about the --

Donald Trump 00:01:00-00:01:20 (20 sec)

Well, you don't know whether or not it's transferrable, you know. I'm not on the ballot, so you don't know whether or not it's transferrable. Uh, you know, you put the Democrats in, you'll end up with open borders again. You'll end up with crime all over the place. They have no crime anymore. And I mean, think of it. The country has the lowest crime it's had in 125 years.

Donald Trump 00:01:20-00:01:34 (14 sec)

In recorded history, the year 1900, that's a long time ago. So, it's, uh, very good. No, I don't know anything about it. I didn't know. I mean, I know there's a race going there. And, uh, it's too bad. What can I say? I have nothing to do with it. Yeah.

Question 00:01:34-00:01:36 (3 sec)

Sir, what do you want out of a Cuba deal?

Donald Trump 00:01:36-00:01:58 (22 sec)

Well, Cuba's a failing nation. It has been for a long time, but now it doesn't have Venezuela to prop it up. Uh, so we're talking to the people from Cuba, the highest people in Cuba. We'll see what happens. Uh, I want the people that came here that were horribly treated by Cuba to be taken care of, to be able to go back, and do what they have to do. Uh, you know, they have their family there.

Donald Trump 00:01:58-00:02:04 (6 sec)

They haven't been able to see them in years, many, many years. Uh, so, uh, I think we're gonna make a deal with Cuba.

Question 00:02:04-00:02:07 (3 sec)

Mr. President, now, back to Texas.

Donald Trump 00:02:07-00:02:07 (1 sec)

It's in bad shape. Cuba is in bad shape.

Question 00:02:07-00:02:08 ( sec)

D- --

Donald Trump 00:02:08-00:02:10 (2 sec)

Cuba has a humanitarian problem.

Question 00:02:10-00:02:13 (3 sec)

Do you have any plans to endorse in that Senate race? Has your mind change at all?

Donald Trump 00:02:13-00:02:14 (1 sec)

Which Senate race?

Question 00:02:14-00:02:15 (1 sec)

In Texas, the GOP primary.

Donald Trump 00:02:15-00:02:18 (4 sec)

I, I'm giving it a very serious thought. You know, my problem is I'm friendly with all of them.

Question 00:02:18-00:02:19 (1 sec)

Mm-hmm.

Donald Trump 00:02:19-00:02:29 (10 sec)

Those are the hard ones. I like all of them, all three. But, uh, you'll be seeing soon, okay? They say whoever I endorse wins, that's probably right.

Question 00:02:29-00:02:34 (5 sec)

Do you support all federal border patrol agents and ICE wearing body cams?

Donald Trump 00:02:34-00:02:37 (3 sec)

We'll be talking about that in the near future, okay?

Question 00:02:37-00:02:38 (1 sec)

We're going right now.

Donald Trump 00:02:38-00:02:52 (15 sec)

But you saw my note that I put out yesterday, that was pretty, I think it was pretty conclusive. Look, we stopped crime in our country, and the border is the best it's ever been. Thank you very much. I gotta go to a wedding.

Question 00:02:52-00:02:53 (1 sec)

Thank you.
